TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAD MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER RECEIVING SEVERAL NOTICES OF THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP I WOULD BE PLACED ON WAITING LIST FOR THE RECALL PARTS. THAT HAS BEEN MONTHS AGO. I CALLED TODAY TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE RECALL WAIT LIST AND I WAS TOLD THEY ARE NOT WORKING ON THE CONVERTIBLES. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT. I ASKED IF I WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND SHE SAID THEY HAVE HAD NO ISSUES OR COMPLAINTS WITH THE PASS SEAT. I AM A REALTOR AND USE MY CAR EVERYDAY FOR WORK WITH PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT PASS SEAT. ANY IDEA HOW LONG THIS RECALL REPAIR WILL TAKE? I DO T WANT ME CLIENTS TO BE UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE. THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL-I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TAKATA RECALL ON MY IS 250 YEAR 2010 BACK IN JULY. I CONTACTED THE DEALER THE SAME DAY AND WAS PUT ON A WAITING LIST. I FOLLOWED UP WITH THEM MULTIPLE TIMES TO SEE WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE IN INVENTORY AND THEY KEPT SAYING SOON. DID NOT APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES AT ANY TIME. THIS RECALL HAS ALSO BEEN REPORTED TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY THEREFORE LIMITING THE 100% USE OF MY CAR. I WAS CONTACTED MONDAY MARCH 20, 2017 (9 MONTHS LATER) THAT FINALLY THE PARTS HAVE ARRIVED. THIS IS TERRIBLE CONSUMER SATISFACTION AND CONSUMER QUALITY. BASICALLY I PURCHASED A 4 PASSENGER CAR, TO ONLY REALLY ONLY HAVE 3 PASSENGERS FOR ALMOST A YEAR. I USED TO BE PART OF A CARPOOL AND NO LONGER CAN WHICH ADDS MORE MILEAGE TO MY CAR. I WAS NEVER OFFERED A LOANER CAR FROM THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS HAD TO BE MANUFACTURED WHICH WAS WHY IT TOOK OVER 6 MONTHS. I WOULD LOVE TO BE PART OF ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CONTACTED FOR MORE INFORMATION IF NEEDED ABOUT HOW THIS HAS AFFECTED DAY TO DAY ACTIVITIES.

THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT IS PERMANENTLY ON ON THE DASHBOARD THAT INDICATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE! ALTHOUGH LEXUS HAS REALIZED THIS IS AN ISSUE, THEY ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THEIR DESIGN FLAWS AND CHARGING AN EXORBITANT PRICE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL SINCE APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD AMONGST ALL OF THESE MODELS ESPECIALLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.
